Homes and wiring in Overland Park

Overland Park is the largest suburb in the Kansas City area, with 1950s and 1960s ranch houses in the northern part of the city near downtown Overland Park and newer, larger homes spreading south. Spring hail, tornado warnings, summer storms and winter ice drive most electrical calls.

Weather, seasons and the utility

Overland Park sits in an area known for severe spring storms, large hail and tornado warnings, and winters bring ice and snow.
